HOUSES FOR POULTRY.
The Necessity of Guarding
Against Damp Floors and
Crowded Quarters.

In building poultry houses of course
the first thing to be done is to select a
location, and this is indeed = very i'm
portant part of the work, as . great
deal depends on it afterwards.
The principal part to observe, in Sc
Letting the spot, is to have it dry and
well drained, SO that there will never
be any standing water near the house
or yards, or dampness of any kind, as
this is very disastrous to the health Of
the fowls.
A damp floor in the hen house is the
prime cause of the very dissagreeable
disease of roup, which, being conta-
gious, is very hard to break up and sue.
cesssully eradicate after it once gets q
firm start and is we'll established in the
flock.
None of the common breed of fowls
are fond Of water or the application of
any thing damp to their skin, and they
generally avoid moisture as much as
they possibly can. The best location
for their house is well-drained sandy
spot. This however is sometimes i'm
possible to obtain, and in such cases
the breeder should elevate the spot
where the house is to be built, by filing
in with sand or sandy soil, which can
generally be obtained with but very lit
tie trouble.
The artificial draining should always
be practiced by breeders who have but
little choice of selection, but have to
take what they have on account Of small
quarters, and are tied down to the space
Immediately adjacent to their dwellings
By thus elevating the spot the quarters
will be made healthy for the fowls,
and the difference in the results will
amply pay for the extra trouble occa-
stoned.
Crowding the fowls in quarters that
are too small for them also has ten
dency to the same disorders that are
caused by dampness, as they generally
go together. The breeder should attend
to this carefully, for there is nothing
more conducive to disease and general
disorder among fowls than the damp
quarters in which they are compelled to
pass their time, and of course without
health they can never be made profit
able and desirable to keep.--Farm, Field
and Stockman.

Certain newspapers and unscientifc
writer's persist in confounding tor
nado with cyclone. A tornado is a
violent gust of wind, with whirling,
progressive motion, usually accompanied
with severe thunder and lightning, and
torrents Of rain, and of short duration,
and of narrow and restricted scope. A
cyclone is clearly defined rotary storm
of wide circuit purely electrical, and
much more Obstructive than tornadoes.
There has been a number of tornadoes
in Kansas within the last ten years. but
the record Of cyclones is comparatively
small.

The statement that the Government
still has an area of over l, 600, 600, 900
acres of land subject to sale is calcula-
ted to deceive the avarage reader. Strict
ly speaking, the figures are correct, but
it is also true that very large proper
ton Of this land is hopelessly sterile
and unfit for any of the uses of agricul-
ture. The amount of tillable territory
remaining undisposed Of is comparative
ly small and within few years it will
be impossible for the settler to find a
quarter section which will be worth tax
ing as homestead. It is exceedingly
important therefore, that such advan-
tages as are yet present in that respect
should be closely guarded for the bene-
fit Of honest and worthy citizens.
